Welcome to the very first edition of our new Hometown Business Spotlight series — where each month we’ll introduce you to a different small business that makes our communities unique. From family-run shops to local service providers, we’ll share the stories, the people, and the passion behind the storefronts. This month, we’re starting in the heart of historic Brunswick.
A Fresh & Friendly Local Hub
Grand River Marketplace is more than just a store — it’s a gathering place for those who appreciate fresh, local goods and a warm, small-town welcome. Located in historic downtown Brunswick, this charming shop offers an ever-changing variety of gifts, seasonal produce, and bakery items made fresh daily. It’s the kind of place where the smell of warm bread greets you at the door, and familiar faces make every visit feel like coming home.
Fresh Food Every Day
Early risers will love that Grand River Marketplace opens its doors at 7:30 AM daily, ready with fresh bakery treats and coffee. In-season, you’ll find locally grown fruits and vegetables, perfect for home-cooked meals or sharing with friends. And on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11 AM to noon, they serve up hot, made-from-scratch meals that taste just like home.
Gifts for Every Occasion
Beyond food, the Marketplace offers a delightful selection of unique gifts — perfect for birthdays, holidays, or “just because.” From handcrafted items to locally inspired treasures, you’ll find something for everyone on your list.
Why Locals Love It
It’s not just the food and gifts that keep people coming back — it’s the atmosphere. Grand River Marketplace is a place where neighbors meet, friends catch up, and the community connects. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, picking up a pie, or browsing for a special gift, you’re part of the family here.
